[butterygrape]

[DJaugus7us]

INTELLIGENT FORMATIONS... TECHNO JACKMEISTER!

[Nikon05]

@guilaumekabum 101....this is a maths question right? :D

[guitaneman]

i came back to watch this again watched it last year love this video

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

It looks they're having fun, but the result is total shit. Remember kids: don't drink & drum!

[nalbmalfoy]

HIT THAT RHYTHM STICK

[ribs303]

Pair of Flids.

[JetTheSmith]

Why do I find this video so entertaining? It's hilarious when they figure out the shuffle beat: "OHOHOHOH YEAH."

[Maxgknt]

@JetTheSmith I think they just bought it , i had exactly the same thing happening right after i bought my mc 505 when i discovered new noises and stuff i was excited aswell...

[JetTheSmith]

@Maxgknt I wouldn't doubt it. I've always wanted to get a 909, and I have a feeling that I would maybe react in the same way.

[GodricThe]

seems to me like you need no more that that this lean mean space machine

[tsankip]

great video guys!

[TRIARII117]

[ch1ral]

[Widleykidz]

[xRxAxTxOx]

[bassbrahh]

[shiloharts]

[TheStoryWeLive]

haha they do look like beaves and butthead trying to figure out how to work the thing hahah!

[Spiralminds]

Stop moving the camera you junkie prick!

[TheMembraine]

@Spiralminds LOL

[pokerockmario123]

`So much more fun than programming beats on a computer IMO

[gasfgiop]

It's like watching Beavis and Butthead programming a 909 :D

[MrDjzaga1]

this was suppouse to be a crah course about how to use the 909,there is nothing to learn about.This guy is a tosser.

[slippast]

I think these guys are pretty hilarious. "Oh that's it!" lol

[hooligram]

bellends 

[digitaldjsllc]

im not a hater, but that beat is kinda whack!! sorry just being honest!!

[kboss2468]

Fuckin wankers.

[Jamie3Dexx]

Jacking to the house biatch !!

[kboss2468]

@Jamie3Dexx More like jackin off to the house.

[krizu7]

fockin bollocks..

[primusayso]

bloodybollocks

[DailyDosageOfDaft1]

they were almost as excited as the double rainbow guy

[Simius01]

These guys don't deserve a 909...My sister could make a better beat

[luckyphilster]

[tf2cheats]

@luckyphilster its called loving the music

[TehPryzm]

classic

[pomfrit93]

Cool guys! You fucking rock!

[numanuma20]

You may need a crash course in drumming.

[8HiGHLIFE8]

fucking hell that was awesome!

[triggerb303]

shuffling. ohh yeah,, ! :-) i like and this days i get my tr 909 too. cheers

[miltonatchet]

if i had a 909 i would be soo happy. i would probably go to a practice studio and plug in and play acid beats FUCKING LOUD! and then wake up from my dream and realise i dont have one and cry myself back to sleep and hope i have the same dream again :(

[latinas4me]

dON'T MOVE THAT F...G CAMERA ...CAN'T SEE ,MAN

[fierylamer]

that looks like a lot of fun

[GanEdenAustralia]

This video does this vintage machine NO JUSTICE!

[Enlukaa]

these two are pure jokes, but cheers for the vid anyway!! quality piece of gear that i can only dream of at sec!!!

[robotssonic]

Jeff Mills&Mad Mike....bit of the sounds of detroit lol :0

looove the 909 best instrument ever- even over the 303. SUPER powerful sounds when given nice set of club speakers

[Hofby]

What a Jerk.

[HarpoonSlazenger]

"Jackin' all over Europe,man!"

[ShootsDenBrah]

:27 fucking bollocks HAHAHAHAHAHA

[authmaax]

i did so many of those ...

i had "power chords pro" trail version...

much more powerfull than that... ahah

saving them though... was a real PITA

[fuckutube21]

That thing has some groove

[TeamNES1]

That beat makes me think of the remix that Basement Jaxx did of Daft Punk's "Phoenix."

[azbacnikorange]

Scouse??

[Gazadaman86]

Lol, the manz a geez. I wanna 909!!!

[turtl3soup]

Looks like a simple machine to use, but listen to that thing kick.

[defcreator]

these house beats are simple and boring

i remember cut master dc making dope beats with this back in 86,not the clubby gay nonsense

[daftklausi]

i wanna hear that in a disco

[maxiemclerx]

jacking all over europe?

[subfusion01]

Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, I have myself I use certainly the intentional film also, dirtied with this Web site, that hobnox is called and had 909s and 808s in the line and a another excrement in the function here I don'

[subfusion01]

T knows that the devil, this one also returns the aid and to the fiber, but I observed this film the end to program the end to help, which almost is not of recent serenity how much that one he uses of him the programs of the directive of the furrow, than have all the conserved impacts I, but is good impacts and can here sedersevi and disporrle they also have excluded the function, they to him Bastardhaven' T fell in the price during the ten years

[royalsunday2007]

after the shuffle, the sound gets sooooo much groove ..

should get a full copy of this if it ould exist hehe ..

fav + 5 stars

[Proton1]

These guys act like they've only heard the 909 for the first time. Precious really.

[xRxAxTxOx]

lmfao u guys are the shit

[Malnoiamusic]

Damn this is sexy

[jsnki]

this machine is fucking sex machine. this shit is tight.

[conjones]

hey thanks for the cool video bro

[JockRonayne]

Based on Rolands recent history of using old names such as the SH101 becomes the SH201 and the Juno 6, 60, 106 becomes the Juno D and G, can you really imagine what sort of rompler turd they would produce "inspired" by the TR line in 2010? Enjoy the vintage, don't taint its name Roland.

[scaryfishdude]

If they reproduced a 303 using the original circuitry, I'd be hard pressed not to buy it...

[PerseusTraxx]

@scaryfishdude its called a xoxbox.......

[SpiralTrance]

@scaryfishdude they have remade the tb303 using original ciruitry, it's called x0xb0x made by a company called mode machines.

[MsBarbablu]

you can add sound plug in in this drum machine?

[JavaSpitLava]

OMG this sounds beautiful

[martynpank]

Give me a stack of cigarettes & alcohol & one of these. & I will never leave my flat again! LOL!

[ecstasys]

Me too!! but no cigarettes...

[AntiMusick]

the price ;-)

[daftklausi]

oh yeah,that's a catchy dance beat !!

[V0RTECH]

nice , are they still made , or is this a colectors item

[Enigma542]

@guilaumekabum Alot, first the sounds completely are different, the hits are different, some feel the 808 is overused in modern music. But at the end of the day they just sound different. And don't get me started on the 707...

[supertom4life]

jammin wit dis stuff is so cool...

[offroadrc]

the best drummachine ever made.

[TR0jAX]

the second ! the best is the 808 :)

[firstnamenavarre]

What's the shuffle? throwing on a swing rhythm? sounded nice. That was as catchy a classic house beat as I've ever heard. i need to get me one.

[gab909]

unmistakable!

[Danikussen]

the point about this vid wasnt to make an insane track idiots. read the title ! : PROGRAMMING a roland tr-909.

all haters just stfu and get out of here!

[606outburst]

Agree...no more words necessary

[JohnJiggins]

Top Stuff! :-)

[kitagaubila]

Take note wievers!!

Jack Meisters

[horriblemen]

At least learn how to make it sound good before you upload a video. what are you guys having a mid-life crisis or something?

FAIL

[theoneandonlyhut]

sometimes these 2 sound like they would do a porn, but i must admit 909 is SEXY :D

[thelandingsmusic]

these are over rated and over priced. muffled rubbery bass n snare drums with mettalic toppy digital cymbles sound terrible to me, id rather have a crisp snappy 626 for £100 any day.

[AngstFisch]

Amateur hour.

[nropE]

those guys are so bouncy

[thimens123]

that is horrible and "not how its got to be done" at all... boooo

[arkanearkane]

read the fucking title, moron

[crozy999]

sounds like shit

[robyniscool99]

sounds like theyre at a strip club

[slsniper098]

ahahah werd

[TomZentra]

NOTE: after this video was produced the drum programmer was promptly evicted from his apartment. LOL

[luckycatphil]

That's what I'm talkin' about... happy 9.09.09 world

[elsongs]

HAPPY 909/09!

[Astrodan2600]

I dig that lo-fi monitoring sound...was this through a Gorilla amp? Brilliant!

[TheWatchthetube]

i think the guy on the left works for sonic state, he makes the videoreviews.. and they kind of seem to make them a littlebit funny, but in the same time they enjoy the sound! the same most have with the 303 and the prices,i had two of them i know those,but still, when you hear it you think, fuck that still rocks!

i used to have the 202,303,606,808 sold them all today i have 101,808,909 and i will probably wont sell them again, though the prices i would get are ridiculous high, i ove those...

[daleadelic]

haha funny. nice upload ! nice machine! wish i had the money

[MrPancake2]

Why doesn't Roland make these anymore :(

[tequila55rock]

yeah, we love 909 drums

[THEDEFOCATOR]

Yeah party time!

[ZADAAAAA]

thats fucking mental im goin to buy the TR 909 AND TB 303

[samdaftpunk]

thats gonna cost alot but if you get them , wow youll get some sick sounds frm them badboys :P

[samdaftpunk]

omg wow :P your almost as sick as thomas bangalter on that thing ! well done man :P i need to ask , are they good for first time house music producers ?

[djyourgofromlelystad]

fun stuff...great drummachine jam...hands up for hardware,thats the real deal...

[DannyHere2009]

Nice bit of kit!

[slytown]

Well, you can take digital files and use them in a sequencer, but its hard work to recreate the analog sound digitally of a piece of hardware.

Good luck getting your hands on one though. :)

[LoveDrumMachines]

Not even the sound, it's also hard to reproduce this groove.

Things come easy with the 909

[AAR182]

lol this reminds me of the scene in Shaun of the Dead when they're dancing to electro music.

[QraQrJaq]

this is just the redrum machine in reason

[cyutaeha]

haha...exactly. :)

taking 909 samples and throwing them into redrum would be just as good really.

[poopguypenis2]

There's even a VST called Drumazon, a recreation of the 909. FL Studio even comes with the 909 and 808 samples.

[djruinerdotcom]

yea but software isnt really that fun lol having hardware is fun

[cyutaeha]

I agree, but seriously having the hardware...goddam expensive.

Having an 808 and 909 would run you at least 2 grand if you can find them on ebay.

I wish Roland would just throw these back into production, I mean how hard would it be?

[djruinerdotcom]

well yea I wouldnt own 808 or 909 unless I was rich.. I just bought my first piece of hardware in a long time... roland fantom got it for 900 on ebay.. I miss my mpc... next I want a yamaha motif

[mrpeanut25]

I know right, they would make an absolute killing.

[flitflint]

too much going on.

[henryhynes]

these guys are awesome hahaha

[Tyler11440]

how much?

[rigobeats]

need one

[dep1001]

Hahaha... two boys with their new toy getting a bit too excited! :)

[massivebeatzz]

cant wait to hear this in full HD and sound recorded directly...bad ass!!

[TheElectricFlood]

Revolution 909

[daftendirekt97]

Good DP song, but what does it have to with this?

[TheElectricFlood]

the song is about this machine they used it a loooong loong time

[primate6666]

I've got one of these cock suckers in my dresser, buddy hooked me up heh

[UnchainTheNight1]

ill gladly take it off your hands

[macattack2in]

this beat is banging!!!!

[MitchGettman]

I have a few questions:

1) What do I need to use this; do I just need an amp and cords or is there more to it?

2) How much do they cost?

3) Where can I get one?

[str3123]

Just search in google...

[hofnaar]

909 is still the best

[vegunited06]

really good, all you need now, is to put it thru a alesis quadroverb rack! short reverb brings out the magic in this box

[bobaloubro]

Go on my sons!

[hartig1967]

909 rocks !

[djmrbrown00]

nice

[delhomewrecker]

Didn't fancy showing what the 20-or-so dials up top do then?

[KorbinianLooser]

you guys are funny :D.... wish i'd have one of these... but i like my emx-1 too

PS: ANALOG SOUND!!!!

[rossmorris]

beast of a machine... its good to see guys who love technology as much as me :)

[audilab]

good video but stop being a tit

[cleancuttin]

i need one

[rivers81]

videos like this make me love youtube

[pannoni1]

I prefer the 808. Not as groundbreaking as its predecessor.

[klausito1970]

Am I on drugs?

[leakpo930]

Hell yeah!

[HalfThereVII]

cooooool

[djpageone]

funny as fuck and what a machine::;;;

[canofbeans]

bluddy hell....

[network909]

Superb! You guys really love the 9o9...5 stars for that! 9o9 forever!!

[sadman666]

I thought the guys wern't annoying ... made it more enjoyable to watch!

[ipoopoou]

Great gear, no talent!!!!!

[egore07]

my nephew is 3 and hes has 1 of them

[snolan1990]

are you shitting me?

[kitagaubila]

TAKE NOTE VIEWERS!!!

TAKE NOTE!!

FUCKING FAVORITE

ADDED ON MYSPACE

FUCKIN MUST BUY AN 909

WACHED 4 THE 12th TIME, STILL AMAIZED

[blueellaguru]

"add a bit clapping in the house"

haha great vid

[eyeh8dog]

fuck those guys are annoying as hell!

[iGrizz]

3.15 LOL! love how passionate they are being

[FunkyVinylJunkie]

Gorgeous machine. I too would baby mine if I ever get one.

[beemanjo]

European intelligent formations? lol

[TheRadarMonkey]

effin comedians! very entertaining video

[Craptron2000]

Can someone explain "shuffle"? My ears know what it's doing but my brain doesn't understand how it's doing that. Is it just shifting the timing of certain drum sounds in one direction or is it more complex than that?

[snolan1990]

its just very slightly changing the timing of the drums. but with drums machines a tiny change makes a huge difference in the way a pattern sounds.

[mrcat1990]

yanno im surprised roland havent seen the fact people love this machine and made a reuissue i mean i would sure as hell buy it

[birdseye90]

haha :D

[jayjaaaay]

this is crazy:D i love this vid

[DannyTen985]

lol i love it!

[derbydookie]

I shook my head at these wankers the first time I saw this vid; but I just turned on my newly purchased 909, and I acted the same way* X0.

*Minus the whole "JACK HOUSE!!! COME ON YOU ALL BIACH!!!" part.
